5 Insane Conspiracy Theories About That Bitcoin Twitter Scandal

However, when a Twitter handle that boasts 1 million followers and previously pumped Bitcoin Cash suddenly deletes old anti-Bitcoin tweets and even links to Bitcoin.org in its profile, everyone takes notice.

But due to the fact that no clear explanation has been given, the floodgates of conspiracy theories have opened. Here are five of the wackiest ones.

1. Romance gone sour

The founder of Litecoin, Charlie Lee, speculated that the change of tune by the Twitter handle could have been spurred by a fallout between the owner of the Twitter handle and a leading Bitcoin Cash luminary, Roger Ver.

Yes, that Roger Ver:

Despite the lack of evidence, Lee theorized that the owner of @Bitcoin had been involved romantically with Ver and that this was the product of a messy break-up.

I have no proof of this, but I think the owner of @bitcoin must have had a romantic relationship with Roger Ver and recently broke up with Roger. That’s the only thing that can explain why @bitcoin stopped supporting BCH.

However, that doesn’t account for the inherent value of the “Bitcoin” brand.

3. Run, it’s a Bitcoin SV trap!

With the Bitcoin Cash crowd having had a feud last year in November leading to the Bitcoin SV fork, the internet was not short on conspiracy theories alleging that the new stance of the Twitter handle was a ruse by BSV.

Plot twist: What if it was a trap? Calvin bought it and gonna surprise shill SV so hard our heads will explode.

Per cryptocurrency entrepreneur and investor Alistair Milne, previous attacks of a personal nature by Roger Ver aimed at the CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, could have led to the social media company giving the former an ultimatum – clean up your act or ship out!

5. You are at the mercy of a revisionist now!

The account @Bitcoin has obviously been hijacked by somebody who’s intent on revising history and falsifying financial information. Electronic trespassing, insider, securities fraud… Serious stuff in the eyes of the State. I wonder how many years of jail they’re gunning for?
